AB InBev Looks to Buy SABMiller

Are you a Bud drinker or a Miller drinker? Soon there may be no difference. Rumors have swirled for years about a merger of the two macro brewers. It looks like the merger rumors may soon become a reality. AB InBev (Budweiser) has announced their intention to purchase SABMiller (Miller/Coors).

If the merger actually takes place, and who knows if it will, the change won’t likely be a good deal for consumers, wholesalers, or craft brewers. Removing a huge competitive force in the beer industry will lead to a consolidation of power and resources. Look for objections to the merger from every corner of the beer world.
